HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYDNEY!!!
To All My Utah Babies
I keep thinking the word is out, but you may not all have heard it yet. Grandma and I are coming up this coming weekend (3/14).
April and Don are graciously letting me use there house for a dinner on Wed 3/17 (wear green). The specifics will be coming but we'll likely have dinner a little early (5:30ish) so Eddie can (hopefully) attend before work and then we can leave somewhat early so Don can get to bed (because he is OLD).
So, Nena, Brett, Rheanna/Doug, Aimee/Chris, Jacob/Sara, Eddie/Carline (did I miss anyone????)- put it in your calenders! Looking forward to seeing you all.
Love,
Sydney
Save the Date
You are all on notice- 4th of July fireworks in Santa Monica will be on Saturday, June 26th. In case ya don't know, the 4th falls on a Sunday this year. So consider the famous Santa Monica Partay at Aunt Sydney's.
Now, read on for Uncle Gordon's post and checkin for March birthdays.
Facebook! Phhhhhhttt!!
Facebook; bigger than a tweet, way less satisfying than a good Blog. The illusion of socializing. This is a little long for a FaceBook comment, but since all my kids, and most of my family and friends have started neglecting or given up on their blogs I put it on there anyway, but putting it here will presetrve it, at least for a while.
I had a Forest Gump moment yesterday, you know, where he’s running cross country and this great sound track is playing while he runs through all this beautiful scenery. It was raining too hard yesterday to ride the bike, so I went for a long run. Towards the end I was going up Whites Canyon Road across the river on the bridge.
It was late in the day, the rain had stopped, the clouds were breaking up and the sun was on the horizon; this great, brilliant red ball breaking over black cumulus clouds, themselves rimmed with fire and lightening.
The sky between the clouds immediately around the sun was a blazing orange, shifting to magenta, then deep blue. Low clouds were cutting across Cobblestone Mountain to the northwest, piling over the Sierra Pelonas to the north like a huge wave, and forming a great black backdrop behind Magic Mountain to the east.
The setting sun had the mountain all lit up, dark green and massive. I was listening to Enya’s “Book of Days” (Yeah, so what! I also have Shania on my iPod, right along with Warren Zevon and Tom Waits) and life was imitating art. Life really is good.

Who've we missed and I KNOW there's more out there.
Paul, Anita and Charlotte
Well this is overdue but I found Paul and Anita's blog though Paul's facebook page. I love it and it's now linked to the Risser blog. Adorable pictures and besides, we need someone who actually keeps up their blogs - besides Jenni of course! Yes, folks that is a hint. I miss your blog updates terribly. Your facebook pages are fun for tiny, tiny peeks but I want more. So check out Paul and Anita's blog. The new baby is coming soon.
Uncle Paul Part II
A memorial page for Uncle Paul was established. The link is:www.mem.com/ContentDisplay.aspx?ID=18667802
The images posted were pretty fun and in many ways summed up Uncle Paul. I downloaded a few of my favorites. He was a pretty cool cat! The service is Saturday and Grandma will be giving the eulogy.
